No pleading was the least excuse, She brooked no contradiction; " The heat you can not make excuse," " Those letters are too tlctlonl" " You've played lawn tennis half the day, Than which my work is cooler!" And so, at last, she got her way, Our most despotic ruler. She sat our stations row by row, And marshaled us sedately; " See, now, this is the way to go, The swathes want turning stralghtly.

[From the Kansas City Times.] In the early days of Kansas City,when the whistle of the locomotive was some- thing unknown to the residents of this then frontier region, the arrival of im- mense trains of wool and Mexican sil- ver, or the departure of long convoys of merchandise for Chihuahua, was an every day occurrence. But with the commencement of the civil war upon this border this trade, then so large find lucrative to the people of Kansas City, Independence and St. Louis, left us for all time. With the completion of the Kansas Pacific Railroad to the plains and buffalo range, the Mexican trade again sought an outlet this way. This trade is so closely interwoven with Kan- sas City that the following sketch of its present condition and magnitude wi...

" . 3£hc Daily Iftcuis. I>IiJ]NISOTV. SUNDAY AUGUST 18, 1S78. McCrary vs. Crooks. The Sherman Courier has been ma- king itself ridiculous in its venemous attacks upon McCrary of the Gains- ville Hesperain, the Cooke county delegate to the Fort Worth conven- tion. Mr. Crary defends his action in the convention, in a straightfor- ward manner. He says: "The Cooke county convention, to select its delegates, adopted a dif- ferent coursc from the usual mode of taking the sense of its delegates, as to the candidates. Names were put in nomination and voted upon the same as a regular nominating convention. Hare received iS 1-2 votes, Finer 16 1-2. No resolution nor motion was ever offered to in- struct the delegates, to the Fort Worth convention, to vote, first, last, or any single time for Hare, Piner or any one else. On the fouth ballot, Piner's friends agreed that if I would vote for him and run him up to a respectable vote, he would withdraw, I did it with that understanding. It was w...

MOSS-ROBCB. Wlilte wtih the whiteness of the snow, link with the faintest rooy glow, They blossom on tholr sprays; X'Uoy glad the borders with their bloom, Ami sweeten with tholr rloh perfume The mossy garden ways. The (tow that from their brimming leaves l>rlpH down, the mignonette receives, Andsweettwgrows thereby; The tall June lilies stand anear, In raiment white and gtild, and hero The purple pansles lie. Warm sunshine glitters over all, •On daisied sward and ivied wall, On Illy, pansy, rose; While flitting round each garden bod, W ith Joyous laugh and airy tread, A fairer sunbeam goes. A little human blossom, bright With olilldlsh, innocent delight Of life yet in itB dawn; With sunshlno prisoned In her hair, l)eop eyes unshadowed by a care, 8he gambols on the lawn. She checks the light elastic tread, And stays to her, far overhead, The lark's song to Its close; Eyes shaded by two tiny hands— Wo pray God bless her as she stands, Our little daughter Rose. Yes, bless the ltoso...

'V t b & \s \ I <1 ir * t 1 ♦ HERE AM) THBBB. A North Carolinian, who fought all through the last war without a scratch, kicked at a dog the other day and broke four of his toes. Tiik drouth is so severe in Johnson County, N. C., that one day recently the people of Pine Level olosed their stores and houses, went to church and prayed for rain until late in the after- noon. New York epicures are startled by the discovery that parties in Barren Is- land are curing tongues of dead ani- mals brought there by offal contractors, and sending them to the city market. When an Indian gets hold of a silver dollar he pounds it out flat until it gets as largo around as the bottom of a tin dipper. Then he suspends it from his neck by a string and feels 41 heap big rich." A DOUBLE-UAltRKLED shot-gUD with a stock of rosewood, inlaid with gold and elaborately carved, and costing $1,100, is the remaining evidence of a young English nobleman's visit to California a year ago. Ilis money ran short...

■-!l ~-J~ ■ 'HIj'«••• v,.; *'«A1H- Jo ffec Daily Stews. K DENISON. TUESDAY AUGUST jo, 1878. The Virginia Whipping Case. We flo not wish, by any means, to he counted with those who advocate the whipping post, but theie is a good deal of useless sympathy raised on account of the whipping of a white girl by a negro constable in Virginia. The circumstances have been greatly exaggerated, and in the North an attempt has been made to create a good deal of capital out of it against the Southern people. The affair happened, by the way, in the banner Republican county of Vir- ginia ; all the officers concerned in the affair were Republicans and elected by Republican votes, and all the whites participating were North- ern men. The girl, who is a hard- ened case at best, was convicted of stealing a pair of shoes and stock- ings, and the sentence was fifteen lashes or thirty days in the county jail. The girl and her mother both insisted upon the whipping in pref- erence to confinement. None of h...

THE MILD POWER CURES HUMPHREYS' HOMEOPATHIC SPECIFICS. We think the Democratic county executive committee made a serious mistake in postponing action, regard- ing making nominations, until Octo- cr. The people, as well as aspirants, should know whether a regular tick- et is to be put injhe field or not. It was once decided that there would be 110 nominations, which was an in- vitation for all who wished to an- nounce themselves as candidates in a free race to do so. Many, no doubt, are now candidates who would have kept out of the race, had they sup- posed nominations would be made. The way the matter now stands the question of nominations must remain an uncertainty six or seven weeks, and it is not reasonable to suppose that those who make a vigorous can- vass between now and October 7th, will be willing to withdraw in fuyor...

■ft' if m. i ' r • J'hc fJailtj fjeivs. - ~0 ~—— DENISON. THURSDAY AUGUST 32, 1878. Dr. Greenville Dowell's recent work on yellow fever contains a map showing the area in the United States liable to yellow fever. The Doctor included on his map this portion of Texas, which has given rise to a wrong impression. It was upon the authority of one of our local physicians who had a copy of the Doctor's work that we stated the other day that Dr. Dowell in- cluded this section as within the feycr belt, but we find on a careful examination of the book itself that his map is incorrect according to his own stat'stics, probably because the Doctor was in error as to the elevation of this region. The highest eleva- tion above the sea yellow fever was ever known to reach was Winches- ter, Va., 700 feet, but Winchester at that time was in a very filthy condi- tion. Denison is 40 feet higher than Winchester, and consequently q*it of the reach of yellow jack so far as we are able to judge from experi-...
